HC Deb 18 February 1991 vol 186 cc56-7W
Ms. Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when he intends to place a copy of the new training and enterprise council operating agreement and operating manual for 1991–92 in the Library; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

I intend to place a copy of the TEC operating agreement and the TEC operating manual in the Library during March. These documents will reflect the new flexibilities and responsibilities which TECs will have from April 1991.

Mrs. Peacock

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of the funding available to the training and enterprise councils may be spent on(a) administration and (b) promotion and advertising.

Mr. Jackson

[holding answer 15 February 1991]: Budgets are allocated to individual TECs on the basis of proposals set out in their business and corporate plans. The proportion of funding allocated to promotion and advertising and administration varies between TECs.
